This portrait of the uptight and silent 50s is a well done drama of two upper class
teen girls, Pamela Sue Martin and ?Betsy Slade and what happens after their
first romantic encounters.
That first time can set a pattern, but back in the 50s sex was not something discussed in polite company. Not in the prep schools that Edith Atwater runs
for girls Nor in the one for boys that Parker Stevenson, Michael Gray, and
George O'Hanlon, Jr.
This is a picture of the stark world before Roe vs. Wade became law and what
we could go back to if the radical religious right has it's way.
In the supporting cast look for Robert Walden as your friendly abortionist who
for a good fee will break the law and relieve a woman of her pregnancy. He
will really creep you out.
This film of the 50s from the 70s is quite relevant for today.
